On its own hilltop near the spa town of Montecatini Terme, L'Oliveta is a pretty stucco villa surrounded by olive groves. Large windows flood the house's spacious rooms with sunlight, while high ceilings and terracotta floors keep the interiors cool even at the height of summer. A vine-covered loggia offers a shady spot for relaxing with tremendous views of rolling hills and distant villages, also visible from the pool where loungers beckon to sunbathers. An open loft on the top floor with a ping-pong table provides a rainy-day retreat for children. The location is splendid for sightseeing, with Pistoia, Lucca and two famous old spa towns only minutes away and Florence just a bit farther.
